As you mentioned it happens on all walls.. does the whole house have adequate ventilation or its Tupperware style (windows never open)?
Suspect that there's more to this than meets the eye as the dampness may also be due to roof leaking (walls sponging up the water).
The entire house is quite well ventilated, except for my room as I usually close the door, and only open 1 or 2 windows.
The room at the other side of the toilet (sharing) doesn't have this problem, but that room wasn't repainted.
The other side of the affected walls in the other rooms is also fine.
This is my room. Windows on the right wall.

Are the walls esp affected area damp/cold when touched?
Plaster sound when knocked?
The walls feels pretty dry, including the white buildup, almost powdery like if I wipe with my fingers.
By plaster sound you mean hollow sound? Sounds solid when knocked.
For more context, the buildup somehow occurs mostly on the lower half of the walls. When it first started I did wipe with wet cloth, which will remove the buildup, but reappear after awhile.
